Title - Busy TypeScript Developer's Guide to the TypeScript Type System
TypeScript is a strongly typed language that compiles to JavaScript. The key difference between TypeScript and JavaScript is the Type System, which enables developers to write type-safe programs with fewer errors and bugs. In this session, we will look to understand the TypeScript Type System and the features and tooling TypeScript provides us to write more concrete types.
Speaker Bio-
I am a full-stack software engineer at Skyhook Adventure, where I get to work with Typescript every day. I have spent the last decade coding and the last four years being a professional software developer. My journey with Typescript started four years ago with the introduction of Angular 2+. Over the last year, I have enjoyed learning about the Typing system and teaching other developers how to get the most out of it.
